In testing conditions where every run mattered, Sai Sudharsan looked ready to dig in and play a patient knock. But just as he began settling in, Josh Tongue delivered a ball that was simply too good to survive. With subtle seam movement and late deviation off the pitch, the delivery forced Sudharsan into a defensive stroke. The bat came down slightly angled and the inevitable happened as a faint edge carried through to Jamie Smith behind the stumps. Sudharsan did not wait for the umpire’s signal as he walked back in disappointment. England had struck at a crucial moment and removed a batter who had shown early signs of resilience.

What do the rules say? Sai Sudharsan's dismissal was a turning point for England. He had already displayed what he was capable of doing in the fourth game with a composed and controlled half-century. In this innings as well, he seemed rock-steady at the wicket, exhibiting immense patience and technique. His 38 runs from 108 balls may not have appeared massive, but they were promising and had the ability to build into something massive. England realized he was one of the players who could steady the innings and tire their bowlers out for long. Getting him out early was breaking a crucial stand and taking control. Tongue Strikes Again as Jadeja Falls to Rising Delivery At a pivotal stage of the game, Ravindra Jadeja fell to Josh Tongue, who bowled a rising short-of-length delivery that was too good to handle. Jadeja, pushing defensively, was taken aback as the ball rose sharply away from him and swung outside his edge, which sailed to Jamie Smith behind the wickets. Even though Tongue had been inconsistent in the first half of his spell, sometimes bowling down the leg side, he also bowled challenging balls two of which gave him important wickets in this period.
